A note on extended complex manifolds

Abstract

We introduce a category of extended complex manifolds, and prove that the functor describing deformations of a classical compact complex manifold $M$ within this category is versally representable by (an analytic subspace in) $H^*(M,T_M)$. By restricting the associated versal family of extended complex manifolds over $H^*(M,T_M)$ to the subspace $H^1(M,T_M)$ one gets a correct limit to the classical picture.
